TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 18553 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo G194575: LT Spectroscopy of iPTF-15dmk DATE: 15/11/03 11:56:21 GMT FROM: Iain Steele at Liverpool/JMU I.A. Steele, C.M. Copperwheat, A.S. Piascik (Liverpool JMU) report on behalf of a larger collaboration: A spectrum of the iPTF candidate iPTYF-15dmk (GCN 18497) was obtained with the SPRAT spectrograph on the Liverpool Telescope on 2015-11-02 at 23:37UT. The wavelength range is 4000-8000 Angstroms and the spectral resolution R=350. Classification using SNID indicates the transient is a Type II supernova with redshift z=0.065 and near maximum light.
